Gig with songstress Tara Simmons - Sun 11 November, Bris Powerhouse 6pm
Tara is generating a lot of excited chat in Brisbane about her fresh, intelligent songs and gorgeous, sensitive, intelligent voice. She’s working on a new bunch of songs for Topology, which we’ll play together, along with some new and favourite instrumentals by ourselves.
Here’s the Powerhouse spiel:
Pop meets post classical when Triple J charting singer songwriter Tara Simmons joins Topology in a gorgeous blend of vocals, strings, sax and piano.Having supported the likes of The Living End and Eskimo Joe, Tara Simmons is fast-becoming one of the hottest singer songwriters on the indie music scene. She was nominated for the Q Music Awards in both 2006 and 2007 and selected as a Triple J Next Crop Artist in 2006.
In this intensely intimate performance Tara Simmons sings her newly commissioned song cycle with Topology, combining vocal melodies and her laptop’s folktronica/glitch electronic textures with the colours of Topology’s instrumentals.
Topology will also present a bouquet of new pieces equally inspired by contemporary classical music, jazz and alternative pop.
